Moving objects vray sketchup animations

[wawmsey7]

Hi,
I've been doing some simple animation renders using vray recently where by the camera is moving and you set vray to render the all the frames in the scene. However, what I really what to be able to do is to render an animation of a door opening or draw moving, that sort of thing - an on-click type function. Does anyone know if this is possible at all.

The only thing I could think of was having the door open in one scene and not in the next but apparently sketchup doesn't on-click animations into consideration with different scenes.

If anyone has any ideas on this it would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance!

I don't think Vray supports moving objects (even with plugins).
It parses the geometry once, and then renders different camera locations. But the geometry is always the same and doesn't move.

dam! thanks for the info though...

That would definitely be a good feature for vray in the future though. However, given a new release was only just made it could be a way off...

I suppose one could do it manually but I realize that you want a one click option. Perhaps in the next iteration of Vray?

Actually, it seems to be possible : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9rDm3odUSA

I guess vray parses for every scene.

I'd love to support per object animation, but I don't know how we are supposed to get the updated transform info, or work with this data at all. Anyone know how it works?
